I bought a TL-WR541G, which worked great from the moment I plugged it in. Good strong wifi signal and easy to work with L2TP in Israel. But it died on me after 2 months, not really sure why.
I settled on an Edimax, which connects to the ISP well, but has the weakest wifi I think I've ever seen (it barely covers one room). In the end I use my Edimax to connect to the ISP and my trusty WRT54G (classic by now) Linksys for pumping out the WiFi. To date, I have had no real luck connecting my Linksys to an Israeli ISP with any firmware. > > The classic, Linksys WRT54G-L, has several GPIO ports to run the LEDs on > the front, and a few extra.
